The more I read into this so-called ‘Valuchi’, the more I began to wonder…is anything about this company original? I mean, the name itself is generic, they’ve copied another kid’s homework with their ads and their watches look just like an AP Royal Oak clone with a dial transplanted from a Filippo Loreti.

I was immediately excited when I stumbled upon one of their latest releases that appeared to offer this nostalgic styling whilst foregoing the typical square shape.

This is the 1978 Day-Date Reissue, which appears to be a follow up to the similarly styled ‘1975 Reissue’ from a few months back, with some alterations. I missed out on the latter option, so when this newer 37mm model popped up on their site it was too tempting to ignore.

The real question is…is it any good? Did I get a great deal, or is this a piece of junk cashing in on the Bulova branding? Well, let’s take a closer look.

The brand, Casio. The specs; well, they’re out of this world. I think it’s time we gave this one the Ben’s Watch Club treatment, don’t you?

Why has nobody reviewed this watch? It’s been around for 30 years and is from a well-known brand so…what’s the catch?

Here’s a sentence I NEVER thought I would be saying on this blog. Fashion brand Lyle and Scott have created a mechanical wristwatch that comfortably beats the likes of Seiko, Orient and Casio…at least on paper!

I’ve picked out what I believe to be 3 of the very best Seiko 5 watches, which offer a surprising amount of value for considerably less than you might think.

The model I have here is the 38mm Weekender, with an 8.9mm depth and a 45.6mm lug to lug. This suits my slim 6.25 inch very nicely, though they do make several other versions of this watch.
